Marilyn Monroe Sex Film Is "Graphic"

(CBS)  Marilyn Monroe starred in a "graphic" film performing oral sex on an unidentified man, according to a memorabilia collector who says he brokered the recent sale of the film for $1.5 million to a New York businessman who vows to keep it private.

Keya Morgan says the silent, 15-minute, black-and-white, 16 millimeter film was apparently shot in the 1950s, and shows Monroe on her knees performing the sex act on the man, who's only shown from the shoulders down, standing against a wall.

"It is graphic," Morgan told Lara Spencer on The Early Show Tuesday. "I was obviously shocked when I saw it."

Her face, Morgan says, makes it very clear that it's Monroe, with her iconic mole and features.

Former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, now known to have been an arch-rival of the Kennedy family, thought the man in the tape might be John or Robert Kennedy -- and tried hard to prove that it was one of them, Morgan says. John is long rumored to have had an affair with Monroe.

Morgan says he discovered that the film exists while researching his upcoming documentary, "Marilyn Monroe: Murder on Fifth Helena Drive."

Morgan explained to Spencer that he interviewed numerous police honchos and FBI agents, and one of those agents "happened to mention" that there was a sex tape of the star. After subsequent digging, Morgan learned the tape was in the possession of the son of a deceased FBI informant. That informant had made the only known copy of the film -- the original is still classified by the FBI. It was the informant's son who sold the copy to the businessman.

Morgan says the FBI agent he interviewed "told me he and nine other agents were involved in verifying (the authenticity of the film) and were working directly under Hoover, who was directly involved in this investigation, because of the possibility this tape involved John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy."

Declassified FBI documents dated three years after Monroe's 1962 death say the film was a "French-type" movie that depicted Monroe in "unnatural acts with an unknown male."

The documents also show that one of Monroe's ex-husbands, Joe DiMaggio, once tried to buy the film, for $25,000, but was rebuffed.

Morgan says he and the businessman who just bought the film have the same goal in mind -- protecting Monroe.

"I would never have my name attached to anything if it would embarrass Marilyn Monroe or if it would in any way harm her image," he told Spencer.

In October 2006, under the FOI act, the FBI released thousands of pages of previously classified documents. In early 2007, Keya Morgan discovered a three page report among the papers titled Robert F. Kennedy that discussed Monroe's death. This report has since been included in the FBI index under Marilyn Monroe.

Written by a former FBI agent (name is redacted from the report) working for the then governor of California Pat Brown, it details Robert Kennedy's affair with the movie star and claims that Kennedy had promised Monroe he would divorce his wife and marry her, but after the actress realised he had no intention of doing so, she made threats to make the affair public. The report claims that to silence Monroe, who had a history of staging publicity seeking fake suicide attempts, she was deliberately encouraged to do so again but was this time allowed to die. The report implicates Robert Kennedy, Peter Lawford, her psychiatrist Ralph Greenson, her housekeeper Eunice Murray, and her secretary and press agent, Pat Newcomb in the plot. The agent states in the report that he could not authenticate the information.

The FBI's J. Edgr Hoover was a sick guy. He had many sex tapes of Dr. King and other celebs. I can't wait to see Keya Morgan's documentary about her death.
I also like the name "Marilyn Monroe: Murder on Fifth Helena Drive". I always knew she was killed, but have to learn more about it. She was sleeping around with the Kennedys, and was too dangerous. I read in the New York Post last week that Morgan sued Gawker for $50 million and won. Glad he won, Gawker is too trashy anyway.

This whole Monroe/*** Tape is just a huge hoax. Keya Morgan is trying to promote his documentary and what better way to do it. Marilyn may have posed nude many times in her short life, but it''s unlikely she ever appeared in porn or allowed someone to film her while performing oral ***. This tape if it truly exists would have come out long before this. And would be worth a lot more money to a lot more people. Claims like this have been made before and always come up empty. You can still find on the internet a stag film starring Arline Hunter that for years people claimed was Marilyn and some still do. I do believe Marilyn used *** to get to where she was going, but where she was going was into legitimate film, not the shady porn industry of the past. All I can say to this supposed rich New York City business man is that he obvioulsy doesn''t know the difference between Marilyn Monroe and a whole in the ground. Any Marilyn fan worth his salt could tell in a split second if the woman was Marilyn or not. And this *** about trying to protect Monroe''s image, come on. People profited off Marilyn when she was alive and have continued to do so since her death almost 50 year, it''s nothing new.

I hate to tell one of the commentators, but that whole story about J.Edgar Hoover''s ***-capades is totally untrue. See Theoharis book about Hoover and also Mark Felt''s book (the real Deep Throat). I actually wound up liking Hoover as a man of principal.

you forgot living next door to a Kennedy cousin

[talkingham]

It''s ashame they can''t get films of that *** Hoover dressed in drag. He was as gay as a $3 bill and got his rocks off torturing anyone he could.

[grandmamu]

Can''t america find any better past time than this ***. Marilyn Monroe, JFK, Robert Kennedy were all human beings. They have/had the same faults as everyone else. *** is always the down fall, just some of have it and no one cares. Then there are the super stars and presidents and everyone cares whos getting poked or proded. Not me I could care less, everybody does it, just some like to film it and make money off of it and use it as a weapon against someone else. All these people are dead how can their reps be hurt anymore.

Marylin was a ***
JFK and Robert was womanizers
whats new in this story?

[culturechang]

all pornography films are graphic by nature.

If there is anything more shameful than Mr. Slimeball Morgan, it''s CBS News putting this guy on the Early show when he does''t present a scrap of tangible proof, that includes names of who had the film, the buyer, how he proved it was actually Marilyn in the film. Folks, this is not news, it''s garbage! Rumors of this type of film have been been circulating for 30 years, and now all of a sudden this guy has the proof it exists. But, I don''t hear any names mentioned, no one is "on the record" and somebody has been sitting on the film for all these years and is now just getting around to selling it.
Of course this Morgan guy is just interested in protecting Marilyn, that''s why he comes on national TV to say she really did this so everyone knows she did this, allegedly. That''s the kind of protection I''d want. If the unknown buyer was interested in protecting Marilyn then he''d build a campfire and throw it in...betcha that doesn''t happen.
